I can have my hand on, and draw very quickly from the pocket while standing or walking, if the situation warrants.

I've been carrying under CHL for 19 years, and have only adapted this two gun carry for the last 5 or so. It makes a lot of sense. A gun available to either hand.

I guess what drove it was my lifestyle change after retirement. I do a lot of walking now in remote, but urban settings. I come in proximity to a lot more unsavory types as I walk and explore my city and others.
Off topic:
I walk several miles a day as well and my record is 31 miles / day (14 h).
It would be nice if you would share your holster choice. I have literally destroyed 2 high dollar leather holsters with sweat and wear in 2 years. At this point I have a kydex holster ehich is not bad but also not nearly as comfortable as leather.

Man, that's serious walking. Mine is an hour, sometimes two, on varying sections of the San Antonio River Walk. There's many miles of it, from very urban to very rural.

My BUG, either a Ruger LCP, Ruger LCR, or Beretta Pico is carried in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holder in the left front pocket. Different Nemesis holsters for each of course.

My "big" pistol, one of many, is carried in a Tommy's Original Gunpack, large or medium, at 12 o'clock. Right hand draw. I've got about 20 of them in various sizes and colors.

No IWB or OWB for me. Gave it up years ago. When the Tommy's develop wear inside, usually around where the rear sights are, I have a local cobbler who sews thin leather patches to cover that area. Makes them better than new.

I use the same carry method in Big Bend National Park and Padre Island National Seashore as well.

The gunpack keeps the pistol nicely protected from windborn sand and orher elemental hazards.
